菩薩見畜生時，要為畜生授三皈依及念佛迴向，實際上這也是在度化自己內在的畜生習氣。
When a bodhisattva sees any animal, he is to deliver a ceremony for it to proclaim it is to turn to and to rely on the Three Precious Ones, and to chant a Buddha’s name and devote the merit to its salvation. By doing this, he can remove and transform his own animal-like habitual thoughts or behaviors.
